He's been trying to keep up with his friends again Now someone's got to stay and take care of him Am I the one? It looks like I'm the one. Every waking hour you let both ends burn It's getting too quick and there's no sign of it turning It's what you want It's what you want It's what you want Am I gonna wait til it's gone? Am I gonna wait til it's gone? Somebody left the stove on in the house too long Now we can warm our hands from the front lawn At least we know it's time for moving on And I can see the lights of an ambulance, And the sirens coming over on the valley wind Oh please tell me it's not another friend Am I gonna wait til it's gone? Am I gonna wait til it's gone? Am I gonna wait til it's gone? Am I gonna wait til it's gone? Someone's got a number with a name on it Somebody's got to go when that number's picked And it's enough to break your heart Am I gonna wait til it's gone? Am I gonna wait til it's gone? Do I got to wait til it's gone? Am I gonna wait til it's gone?
